Climatic characteristics of various parts of the United States

With the upsurge of studying abroad in America, more and more parents want to send their children to study abroad. With the continuous liberalization of the visa policy in the United States, more and more students choose to study in the United States, a country across the ocean. Because of the special geographical location, the weather in the United States is more capricious. The United States borders the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean to the east and west, the Gulf of Mexico to the south and Canada to the northeast. There are many rivers and diverse landforms in the United States, so the climate in different regions is different. Students want to finish their studies here with peace of mind, and acclimatization is the primary problem. Of course, these situations are inevitable. Therefore, it is particularly important for students to take preventive measures before studying in the United States. The following 86 is a detailed introduction for the students.

The climate in most parts of the United States belongs to temperate and subtropical climate, with moderate temperature and abundant precipitation. Because of its vast territory and diverse terrain, climate change is more complicated. The southern tip of the Florida Peninsula is tropical. Alaska is located between 60 and 70 degrees north latitude and belongs to the cold climate zone in the Arctic Circle. Hawaii is located in the south of the Tropic of Cancer and has a tropical climate.

Generally speaking, the western Pacific coast of the United States is not too hot in summer, with the least precipitation and mild winter, which is the period with the most precipitation in the whole year. Specifically, the farther south the western coastal areas are, the less rainfall and the warmer the winter. For example, in Seattle on the northern coast of the west, the average maximum temperature in the hottest July is about 24℃, and the precipitation is about 20mm65438+ 10. The average minimum temperature in Leng Yue in October is about 2℃, and the precipitation is about 140mm. In San Francisco, south of Seattle, the average maximum temperature in July is about 22℃, the rainfall is about 0.8mm, the monthly average minimum temperature is 5438+10.5℃, and the rainfall is about10.0 mm. In Los Angeles, south of San Francisco, the average maximum temperature in July is about 24℃, and the rainfall is about 0.3mm 65438+ 10. The average minimum temperature in October is about 8.8℃, and the rainfall is about 6 1 mm..

The inland of the western United States is a plateau area, which is hot in summer and cold in winter, with little annual precipitation, especially dry in winter. For example, the average maximum temperature in Denver in July is about 365,438+0℃, and the rainfall is about 48mm, which is the period with the most rainfall in the whole year. In June 5438+ 10, the average minimum temperature was about -8.8℃, and the rainfall was about12.7 mm.

The central and northern plains of the United States have four distinct seasons, and the climate is mainly continental. Generally speaking, it is hot in summer and cold in winter, but the temperature difference in the central and northern plains is large.

The Gulf of Mexico in the south and the Atlantic coast in the southeast of the United States have subtropical climate, with hot summer and warm winter, and sufficient precipitation throughout the year. Houston, a city along the Gulf of Mexico, has an average maximum temperature of about 34℃ in July and an average minimum temperature of about 4.5℃ in June of 5438+ 10.

The Atlantic coast in the northeast of the United States and the Great Lakes in the north belong to temperate continental climate, which is not very hot in summer and relatively cold in winter. In the northeastern coastal city of new york, the average maximum temperature in July is about 28℃, and the average minimum temperature in June is about -4℃ at 5438+ 10. Chicago is located along the Great Lakes. The average maximum temperature in July is about 29℃, and the average minimum temperature in June is about-10℃.

In addition, 1/3 Alaska is located in the Arctic Circle and belongs to the continental climate of the sub-cold zone, with low temperature and little rainfall. The highest average temperature in July is about 18℃, and the lowest average temperature in June is about-13℃. The Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean have a tropical maritime climate with abundant rainfall.

Only by fully understanding the climate change in all parts of the United States can we really devote ourselves to studying in the United States. As the saying goes: What is the body? Revolution? The capital. Only by having a healthy body can we learn more knowledge.
